Adventures in Blogging

I have been blogging for a couple of years now to keep family and friends up-to-date while we're living so far from "home". I have now decided to start another blog to chronicle our homeschooling adventures and to connect with other like-minded families.

We have been homeschooling for about 4 years now. My oldest daughter has almost completed a full "round" of history using a mixture of SOTW and TOG. We will be finishing off the year in the next few weeks with World War II. We will then start again with Tapestry of Grace 1 Redesigned in the fall. We are finishing Life Science this year and will be moving on to Earth and Space Science for next year.

I would say that our homeschooling philosophy is an eclectic mixture of classical and Charlotte Mason methods. I am looking foward to "meeting" other homeschoolers online to share ideas and experiences!

I know that from our school name it sounds like we're living on some exotic island, but sadly that is not the case. We are currently in North Pole, Alaska (about as far as you could get from an island paradise). When my husband retires from the Army, we will be retiring to an island in the Puget Sound of Washington state. Not tropical, but still beautiful :)
